Is Dead
One of the Most Noted Fig
ores in the History of
Germany
Thus Removed-His Won
derful Career.
Beril?, Joly SO.-Bismarck is dead.
Friedriefasruhe, Joly 30/ 11:20 p.
m.-Prince Bismarck pasted away
peacefully.
Berlio, July $0 -Details of the
death of Prince Bismarck are obtained
with difficulty, because of tbe lateness
of tbe boar, the isolation of the castle
and the strenuous endeavors of the at?
tendants of the family to prevent
publicity to what they consider private
details.
The death of the ex chancellor comes
aa a surprise to all Europe. Despite
the family's denials, there was an no
ceroarrent of appr?hension wheo the
shkiog of the prince was first announc?
ed, inspired more by what the family
left unsaid than by any information
given. Bot when the daily bulletins
chronicled improvement in the prince's
condition, detailed his extensive bills
of tare and told of his devotion to his
pipe, the poblic accepted Dr Sch wen -
inger's nssertioo when he said there
vas oo reason why Bismarck should
Bot reach the age of 90 years.
It appears that the ex-cb ance! lor rs
death was not precipitated by sodden
complications, but was rather the cul
minatioQ of chronic disease-neuralgia
of the fase and incarnation of the veins,
which kept him in constant pain, that
was borne with the iron fortitude which
sight hi;ve been expected.
The beginning of the end dates from
Joly 20, when thc prince was confined
to his bcd. He had baea several days
prostrated before aa inkiing of his de?
cline rea ohed thc world.
- During Dr. Schwan in ger's brief ab
scone from Fredrio&rube. Dr, Cbysao
der was io constant attendance noon
.the patient. Although Prince Bis?
marck was extremely low oo Wednes?
day, he so rallied on Thursday that he
was wheeled to the dinner table to cele?
brate with bis assembled family the
fifty-first anniversary of 'his wedding.
He oe ver for a moment believed him?
self ic danger until the last day.
Oo Monday he ordered some new
pipes and smoked one on Thorsday and
theo conversed brilliantly on the topics
of the day. discussing the trial and
sentence of M. Zola and tbs peace ne
gotiatioos between Spain and the Uni
ted States. Count von Rantzau, tbe
prince's son io-law, read to him from
a newspaper an obituary notice of him?
self, at which be was greatly amused.
He perused the papers daily, and this'
was one reason why the family depre?
cated the alarmist reports as to his
health.
The Lokal Anzieger publishes a dis
patch from Friedricbsruhe, saying that
Dr. Sobwininger was present when
Prince Bismarck died, having arrived
from Berlio at 10:30 o'olook. The
prince was unconrcious for several boure
before the end came, and his breath al?
most failed repeatedly. He died witb
oot a struggle.
Brief Sketch of Bismarck.
Prince Otto Eduard Leopold Bis
marck-Scboohdusen was boro of an old
and noble family of the "mark" (Bran?
denburg) at Sch oe hauseu, April 1,
1815. He was created a count Septem?
ber 16, 1865, and Priooe (F?rst) von
Bismarck io March, 1871. He was
educated at the universities of Go til?
gen and Griefswald, spent some time io
tbs army, and subsequently settled
down as a country gentleman. Brought
op in the political faith of the Junkers,
or Prussian Tory squirearchy, he be?
came io 1846 a member of the provin?
cial diet of Saxony, and of tbe Pros
eiao diet, in which be first attraoted
attention by bis fiery speeches ic defense
of the old mooarohial party Daring
the revolutionary period of 1848 the
services be rendered in the public j
debates to tbe Conservative cause led
to his appointment as the representa?
tive of Prussia in the diet ot the old
German bund at Frankfort. Austria
was then all powerful io the German
bund. From the time of Bismarck's
appearance, however, the voice of
Prussia began to have increasing
weight. Bismarck was sent as ambas?
sador to St. Petersburg io 1850, and
held that positioo until 1862. Io May
cf 1362 he became Prussiao ambassador j
at Paris. Five months later he waa
made first minister of tbe Prussian j
crowo. Within the next teo years he!
tumbled the Austrian empire, destroy
ed the French empire and created the
rew German empire. He remodelled
the map of Europe, dismembering Den
mark and France. He eoiarged the
frontiers of Prussia by the annexation
of various provinces, including the
dominions of three dethroned Ger?
man princes, and succeeded in placing
germany, which previously had been
! the weakest and least respected of
tbe great powers, at tbe head of all
stares of Europe
The North German Confederar
with Prussia ac its head, was est?t 1
ed in plaoe of the old bund, while \
tbe South German States aa offen
and defensive alliance was conclue
giving the king of Prussia supn
command of all their troops in time
war Of the North German ba
Count Bismarck was created chance
and president of the federal coan
Io addition to these successes, Co
Bismarck obtained great popularity
creating a representative branch of
new federal government, on tbe bi
of manhood suffrage. The diet, wb
first assembled in 1867, consisted
delegates representing a nation of 2
000.000.
Bismarck's next achievement was
prevent the attempted annexation
Luxembourg by Napoleon III
In 1868 Bismarck withdrew for so
months from active public life, bot
was in power again before the end
the year. Then came the Franco G
man war of 1870, after a eampaig
consisting of an oobroken series of v
tories, largely doe to the stratej
genios of Count Yon Moltke, Ki
William was able, throogh bis chane
lor, to dictate terms of peace to i
helpless assailant
In his domestic legislation Prir
Bismarck has been far less fortan?
than in his diplomatie negotiations,
his economical policy, after begionii
as a free trader, be adoped a protc
tionist policy. While he thus ali?n?t
the Liberals, bis May laws, which we
afterward repealed, interfering wi
the religions liberty of the Cathol
priesthood, led to a long and bitt
struggle with the Catholic church ai
m*de ail its adherents his bitter en
mies. Equally severe was his po i ii
with regard to Social Democrats, fa
draconic measures against whom pr
duced the profoundest disponte
among the working classes in the larc
cities.
Prince Bismarck took a prominei
part io connection with the triple all
ance between Germany, Austria ac
Italy, which is understood to be direc
ed against a possible ali ian oe betwee
Russia and France against the Germa
powers.
The publication of the late Emperc
Frederick's diary in September 188?
threw a new light upon some of tl
imperial transactions io which Prioc
Bismarck has been" engaged. Moo
sensation was caused both io German
and elsewhere by the revelation of tb
diary respecting the authorship of th
idea of German unity. The late erupt
ror claimed to have proposed this pol
icy and to have experienced great dil
fioohy io persuading Prince Bismaro
of its practicability.
The reported resignation of Bismarc
as Prussian minister and chancello
was announced in February in 1890
but did not actually occur until Maro!
17, of that year, when divergencies c
opinion between him and the empero
led to his retirement. His departor
from Bsrlio was made the occasioo o
a great popular demonstration
In 1893 tbe prince fell seriously ill
aod the emperor sent him a telegram o
sympathy aod offered him the use o
one of his castles to assist his coovales
cence. This offer the prince gracefully
and gracefully declined, but tbe ex
change of courtesied between bim anc
the emperor served to make very mani
fest the desire of thc German peopk
for the reconciliation This desire wa;
granted in 1895. The emperor sent a
present of wine to Fredrichsrube and
an autograph letter congratulating the
prince on his recovery from an attack
of influenza. Prince Bismark at once
responded to this gracious advance by
going to Berlin and paying his first
visit to the emperor since he had left
office. The emperor afterward return
ed bis visit to Friedriohsruhe
Two attempts were made on Prince
Bismark's life, the first by a man
named Blind, on May 7,1866. at Ber
Un ; the second on July 14, 1874. by
Kulimann, at Kissingen.
Princess Bismarck died at Barzioa
November 27, 1894.
Tbe Express Tax.
Houston, Tex., July 30.-the ex?
press companies have defied the railroad
commissioner by paying no attention to
the mandate of that body directing
them to pay the war tax of one cent on
all receipts. The mandate was received
by the agents of the compao es, who
were instructed to reface all shipments
if the shippers refased to pay the t8X.
It is understood that the companies rely
upon an opinion by the Uoitcd States
district attorney, Taliferro There is
no doubt that the attorney general of
the State will shortly file suit to test the
case, as he believes the companies
should pay the tax.
The Cuban soldiers have received eo^
much abuse of late that it ? fair to cote
whatever compliments they get. Gen.
Lawton writing from the front gays of
them : "Gen. Garcia bas here about
3,500 effective men. When they fir*t

But in the drafting of such an agi

all possibility of repudiation of bis
tioo be has been given the minutest
finition of the concessions that will
made by the Spanish government
every point tbat by any possibility co
be expected to arise io the course of
negotiations. It was not known to
government that M. Camboo bad si
powers when he appeared yesterday
ternoon at the White House to rece
the American answer, but onoe
President was satisfied that he was co
petent to deal in an authorized mani
with our government, the product
of bis credentials was hailed with sal
faction, as tending to hasten the rea?
iog of ao agreement without loss
time and io the most direot maooer,
technically the United States is n
treating with Spain without the int
veotioo of any third power. It may
said also that M. Camboo is proceed i
with straightforwardness towards his c
ject, and that there is no fear of de vic
diplomacy being introduced ioto the t
gotiations.
THAT SIGNAL MODIFICATIO
There is much speculation as to t
nature of the amendment in the anew
of the United States that the acabase
dor succeeded in induoiog Preside
McKinley to make, after the doenme
had been so carefully constructed by ii
cabinet. All that can be knowing
stated is that it relates to that part
the answer which deals with the futu
of the Philippines. It is known th
the Spanish efforts were concentr?t*
upon tbe r?tention of tbe islands, ac
the Madrid cabinet was willing tn mai
almost any sacrifice io its power to s
core that end Whether or not tbe aa
bassador prevailed in this is noi; koow;
but there is reason to believe that th
success be attained was limired and tbs
the United States proposes to retai
some foothold a little more importar,
than a simple coaling station in the is!
ands Had our demand been limite
to a coaling statioo there would hav
been no doubt of its acceptance, and i
is even probable that the cooees
sion might have been made of a con
siderable tract of land for a naval sta
tioo and a supporting zone. But it i
believed that there was strenuous ob
jectioo to the cession of the city o
Manila, the metropolis of thc group
and particularly to the refereooe to i
commission of the question of the iutun
government of the inlands, for tbi
Spaoish government is desirous tbat iti
foll sovereignty shall remain unaffectec
and without question. It is assum?e
that it was this point which, was the
subject of amendment at the hands ol
the President yesterday, though wbal
form that chante took is still uoknown.
As some mention has been made in the
public discusions of the possibility of the
acquistion of one of tbe Caroline isl?
and's, it may be stated authoritatively
that the matter has not been considered
by the cabinet up to this time.
IT RESTS WITH SPAIN.
The progress made in the negotia
tiona has given rise iu some quarters
to an expectation that hostilities are
to be suspended very soon
This will depend entirely upon the
attitude of the Spanish government
and the nature of its answer to our
demands It has been made clear to
the French ambassador that hostili?
ties will not be suspended except
upon the assurance of a fuli accept?
ance of our conditions, and he has
undoubtedly informed the Spanish
cabinet that it depends upon Spain
when the war shall cease
GOES STRAIGHT AHEAD.
Meanwhile, as an evidence that our
government has not interrupted the
execution of its campaign, an order
was issued from the war department
to-day for the dispatch of an entire
army division to reinforce Gens
Miles and Brooke in Porto Rico
This will be known as the provisional j
division, and will be commanded by !
Maj. Gen. Wade, at present in corn

WASHINGTON'S SUMMARY.
Washington, August 1.-All e;
turoed to-day toward Madrid, for
was realized upon the Spanish cabii
depended the restoration of peace,
bad been aooouoced here in a quar
that removed tbe information from a
question of its accuracy that the dc
sion of the Spanish government was i
to be submitted before to morrow, at t
earliest. In the abseooe of any n<
phase in the negotiations here to-da
speculation naturally turned backwa
toward the remarkable meeting at t
White House Saturday, and great i
terest was manifested in every partie
lar respecting that event.
A disposition was shown in EOE
quarters to question the authority
the French ambassador to act as he d
respecting Spain. Bui it cao be aga
stated that regardless of aoy technic
point euch as tbe absence of sign, see
ed aod delivered mail credential
which of course could not reach here
the little time at band, thet the Pref
dent regarded M Cambon as ful
qualified to act as a representative
tbe Spanish government negotiation
subject, of course, as are almost a
ministers or ambassadors in these day
to the referenoe of the work nocon
plished by them to the governmei
they represent for final approval.
M. Cambon made it so clear that t
had been fully instructed on every poi i
likely to rise in tbs negotiation that ti
President was satisfied that by accep
?og him as the representative of Spai
io this matter a vast saving of tin
would be effected, and a point of utmoi
importance, that the negotiations wool
be technically conducted without tb
interposition of any neutral govert
meot. However, any question tbi
might have arisec as to the powers (
the French ambassador was set at re?
by a short, guarded, and concise state
meut issued to-day from the cmbees
itself
THAT MYSTERIOUS MODIFICA
TION
Then discussion turoed on the natur
of the change made at the instance o
M. Caraboo io the list of American de
mands. It was contended in som
quarters that no chaoge had been made
io others, that an important modifica
tioo had developed. As a mutter o
fact ss to the importance of tb.it? chang?
there is a difference of opinion betweer
the partied, the administration tocking
upon it as inconsequential, while M
Ca m boo attaches importance to it
However this may be, the administra?
tion believes that the change is not es
eeotiai, and that it certainly does no!
affect the principle of the document.
lt might be well to recapitulate briefly
what the demands of the United" States
were
OUR DEMANDS
As to (Juba, it is demanded that
Spain is to release her government,
possession and control. It will be
noticed that nothing is said of Cuban
independence, and that the accept?
ance of this position leaves the Uni?
ted States free to deal with the island
as it may deem best
Porto Rico, with the small islands
adjacent and embraced within her
jurisdiction, is to be ceded to the
United States
One of the Ladrone island likewise
is to be ceded to the United States
as a coaling station.
THESE THINGS FOR A COM
MISSION.
These three conditions being grant?
ed by Spain are to be taken as part
payment hi lieu of the full indemnity.
What further payment shall be re
quired ie to be determined by a com
mission having authority to act for
the President, subject to his approv?
al. Whether Spain shall retain pos?
session of the Philippines as a whole
or in part is left to that commission J
to determine The reason for defer- j
ring the decision as to the future of
the islands in this fashion is because J
ihe administration is not yet satisfied
itself ; il is not clear at this moment
what sound policy should dictate in !
the matter Meanwhile, and until
the commission has satisfactorily dis
posed of the future of the island*, the
United States is to exercise a military
government over Manila harbor and
bay. The commission wili be
actually a peace commission, and will
prepare for the treaty which will
terminate formally the war with
Spain However, a suspension cf
hostilities may be sooner declared
when the Spanish government shall
definitely accept the conditions above
laid down aDd renounce its authority
over Cuba and Porto Rico
THE CAMPAIGN
IN PORTO RICO.
Ponce, leland of Porto Rico, July
30, 3 p m , via the Island of St.
Thomas, D W. I , Sunday Morning.
-Major Gen. Miles hourly expects
the arrival of the transports having
on board Brig Gen. Schwanns divis
[ ion of 6,000 men, and also the Mo?
hawk, with the 5th regular cavalry.
Gen. Henry's division, consisting
of 3,400 men, and including 26 pieces
of artillery, bas been ordered to
march immediately from Yauco to
Ponce to be ready to join the move?
ment north to San Juan
The 6th Pennsylvania regiment was
sent this morning toward Jnania
Diaz, eight miles north of Pouce, en
route to Suan Juan, where, it is re
ported, the Spaniards will make a
stand. Word reached here this af?
ternoon that the Spaniards were mur?
dering native Porto Ricans, violating
women and indulging in general out?
rages. The 16th Pennsylvania regi?
ment will be reinforced if necessary.
The first real resistance is expect?
ed when our troops reach Aibonito,
35 miles northeast of here. Aibonito
bas a thousand feet elevation.
Gen. Miles say he bas no intention
of making a landing of troops at
Cape San Juan, especially as the
place is only a roadstead, where
transports are liable to suffer from
the prevalent storms.
The railroad from Ponce to Yauco
is now in the possession of our
troops. 'Gen. Stone found five mines
on the track. These were destroyed
and the track is uninjured.
Our troops found seventeen Span?
iards in the Yauco hospital, all of
whom had been wounded in Tues?
day's fight. Two of them have since
died.
Proclamations have been issued by
the authori ?s of Yauco, as a United

His Action in the Matter.
WHAT I? x HOTJGHT IN WASH?
INGTON.
Washington, Juiy 30.-The war
department has received the follow?
ing:
Santiago de Cuba, July 29.
Hon. R. A. Alger, Secretary of War,
Washington :
Have the Sun of July 23, in which
comments are made as to my treat?
ment of Gen. Garcia I desire to say
that Gen Garcia was invited by me
personally to go into the city of San?
tiago at the time I entered it, but he
declined upon the ground that the
Spanish civil offic rs were left in
power. It was fully explained to him
that those officials were continued in
power until it was convenient to
change them for others. Gen. Gar?
cia's assistance to me has been pure?
ly voluntary on his part, and he was
told al the beginning that I did not
exercise any control over him except
what he chose to give. The trouble
with Gen. Garcia was that he expect?
ed to be placed in command at this
place, in other words, that we would
turn the city over to him. I explain?
ed to him fully that we were at war
with Spain and that the question of
Cuban independence could not be
considered by me Another giiev
ance was that ^finding that several
thousand men marched in without op?
position from Gen. Garcia, I extend?
ed my own lines in front of bim and
closed up the gap as I saw that I bad
to depend on my own men for any
effective investment of the place.
S H AFTER
The differences which have arisen
between Gen. Shafter and Gen Gar?
cia are not regarded by the war offi?
cials as serious, and little doubt is
expressed that they wi:I be amicably
adjusted
A difficulty arising out of the dif?
ference between Gen Shafter and
Gen Garcia has arisen in Santiago.
The Spanish residents there have
been led to believe that Shafters
army is to be ordered away from San?
tiago after the Spanish troops now
prisoners have been transported to
Spain. This has given rise to a fear
in their minds that they are to be left
to the tender amenities of the Cubans.
If they feared the occupation of San?
tiago by the American army, they
are now doubly fearful of the results
of its departure Appeals have been
made to Gen Shafter not to with?
draw the American forces from San?
tiago, and he communicated these
appeals to the war officials Assur?
ances have been given to the people
of Santiago by the war department,
through Gen Shafter, that this gov?
ernment will stand squarely by the
tetms of the President's proclamation
relative to the government of the
city and province.
A permanent military garison for
Santiago, consisting of the First aBd
Second immune regiments, has been
provided, and it will remain there
even if Gen Shaffer's corps should
be withdrawn. These facts have been
communicated to the Spanish resi?
dents of the city, and have tended to
allay their alarm
